FAQs

1. For how long
is a UK passport valid?
UK Passports are valid for 10 years. Please note that
in order to get a visa on your passport, you must have
a remaining validity of at least 6 months.

2. If I have lost my United Kingdom passport
or had it stolen, will I encounter problems when I apply?
If you have a history of losing passports, this could
pose a problem.

3. I tend to travel frequently
and my passport runs out of pages quickly. What can
I do?
If you are a frequent traveler, then you should request
a 48-page passport instead of the regular 24-page passport.

4. I just changed my name; do
I have to change the name on my United Kingdom passport?
You are not obligated to change the name on your passport
if you changed your name. However, it is recommended
that your passport be in the same name as your IDs or
travel documents. Having your passport in one name and
a document in another could lead to confusion and some
problems.

The first thing you should do is contact local police

contact the nearest UK Embassy or Consulate and arrange

is valid for one year. Once you return to Canada, you
should replace your emergency passport with a regular
one.
